FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about installation, removal, and repairs so your metalwork stays code-conscious and cleanly finished across Metro Vancouver.

What kinds of “other services” do you provide?

We handle installation, removal, and adjustment of metal stairs, railings, doors, guards, and light structural elements across Greater Vancouver. Our team can retrofit existing layouts, add new support where needed, and tidy up old metalwork so it looks intentional and meets BC building code.

Can you work with existing or owner-supplied railing kits?

Yes. We regularly install owner-supplied or pre-fabricated railing and stair kits. Before we start, we review the components on site to confirm they are safe for the location and can be installed to BC code. If anything is missing or under-sized, we can fabricate custom brackets or posts so the finished system is secure and compliant.

Do you handle safe removal and disposal of old railings or metalwork?

We offer careful removal of existing railings, guards, and metal frames. Floors, walls, and finishes are protected while we cut and unfasten old hardware. Usable material can be left neatly on site if you prefer, or we can arrange recycling and disposal so the area is ready for the new installation.

Can you upgrade existing railings to meet BC building code?

Many projects involve bringing older railings and guards up to current BC code. We can add intermediate pickets, change top rail heights, reinforce posts, and upgrade anchors while keeping the architecture as close to the original design as possible. Our goal is to improve safety and compliance without making the space feel heavy or over-built.

Do you offer on-site welding and small repairs?

Yes. We provide mobile welding and repair services for loose posts, cracked welds, bent pickets, and damaged brackets. Small repairs are usually completed in a single visit, and we match existing finishes as closely as possible so the fix blends in with the surrounding metalwork.

How do you schedule smaller repair jobs versus larger projects?

Smaller repair and adjustment jobs are grouped into efficient site visits so we can respond quickly without disrupting your space. Larger projects, like stair replacements or full guard upgrades, are scheduled with a site visit, measurements, and an installation window that works around other trades. We always confirm the scope and timeline before work begins.

Are you insured, and can you coordinate with other trades on site?

We carry liability insurance and follow strict safety procedures on every site. Our team is used to coordinating with general contractors, property managers, and other trades, so metalwork installation slots smoothly into the overall construction schedule and inspections.
